Network Stats & Health

Understand how the CPUNK ecosystem runs on Cellframe CF20: active nodes, block heights, synchronization status, and other indicators that describe the state of the post-quantum infrastructure.

Overview

Why network stats matter

Network metrics are the observability layer for CPUNK’s post-quantum infrastructure. They help validators, delegators, and builders understand how the system behaves.

CPUNK depends on the underlying Cellframe CF20 network for identity, messaging, and token operations. To keep this environment secure and reliable, participants need visibility into how the network is performing.

Network statistics provide insight into liveness (is the network moving forward?), participation (how many nodes are active?), and health (are there forks, stalls, or connectivity issues?). When these indicators are tracked over time, they also help detect regressions after software upgrades or configuration changes.

The goal is not to overwhelm with numbers, but to expose a clear, honest picture of how the CPUNK ecosystem is doing at the infrastructure layer.

Metrics

Core network health indicators

Different roles care about different metrics. These are the core indicators CPUNK focuses on when describing network health.

Liveness Progress

Block height & finality

Block height and the rate at which new blocks appear are the simplest signals of network liveness. Large gaps or sudden stops can indicate incidents, forks, or connectivity problems that need attention.

Participation Nodes

Active nodes & validators

The number of active masternodes or validators shows how much infrastructure is currently online and participating in consensus. A diverse set of operators reduces central points of failure.

Sync State

Synchronization status

A node can be online but not fully synced. Network stats highlight whether the majority of nodes are in agreement about the current chain tip and whether there are significant lagging nodes.

Latency & Quality

Propagation & latency

Propagation delays and peer connectivity influence how fast blocks and transactions spread across the network. Healthy networks minimize unnecessary latency while maintaining decentralization.

Topology Distribution

Geographic & operator diversity

Over time, network stats can be enriched with geographic and operator information (where available) to monitor how decentralization evolves and ensure no single jurisdiction dominates.

Post-Quantum Security

Alignment with PQ design

For CPUNK, network health also includes staying aligned with the post-quantum threat model – making sure nodes are running up-to-date implementations of PQ-safe cryptography and protocol versions.

Collection

How network data is gathered

CPUNK aims to keep monitoring lightweight and privacy-preserving, using public, protocol-level information rather than invasive tracking.

Node-level observability

Most network statistics come from one or more observer nodes connected to the same network as validators and wallets.

  • Block headers and heights from Cellframe nodes
  • Peer counts and basic connectivity metrics
  • Consensus-related events and synchronization state
  • Zerochain and sidechain metrics relevant to CPUNK

Where possible, metrics are derived from public, on-chain or protocol-level information, avoiding any data that would compromise user privacy or identity.

CPUNK dashboards & tools

Network stats are exposed via dashboards such as CPUNK.CLUB and can be integrated into other tools and explorers.

  • Public JSON endpoints for simple integrations
  • Lightweight PHP or RPC proxies where necessary
  • Front-end components for embedding network tiles
  • Future support for community-run monitoring nodes

This page is designed to connect to the same data sources, giving a consistent view of the network across cpunk.io and cpunk.club.

Usage

How different participants use network stats

Validators, delegators, builders, and researchers all look at the network from slightly different angles – but they rely on the same underlying metrics.

Validators

Confirm that their nodes are synced and producing blocks correctly.
Detect anomalies after upgrades or configuration changes.
Compare their uptime and behavior with the rest of the network.

Delegators

Verify that the validators they delegate to remain reliably online.
Watch for decreasing participation or repeated downtime.

Builders & integrators

Plan deployments around expected network capacity and uptime.
Monitor the impact of new features on performance.

Researchers & governance

Analyze decentralization and resilience over time.
Inform protocol upgrades and proposals with real data.

Wire this page to your live network stats

The layout is ready to consume data from your existing JSON or RPC proxies (/stats/net-stats.json, PHP endpoints, or direct Cellframe RPC). Replace the placeholder values in the metrics panel with real statistics and this page becomes a simple, public window into CPUNK’s infrastructure health.
